The CIHR Strategic Training Program in Public Health Policy offers an exciting opportunity to become intellectually and actively
involved in the complex tasks demanded by public health policymaking including: policy change; policy analysis; policy assessment;
and policy structures and planning. This training program promotes a collaborative multidisciplinary community of researchers,
trainees, policymakers, educators and practitioners that works and learns together to address – from a policy perspective
– the key issues compromising the public’s health at local, regional, national and global levels. This CIHR training program
is open to students accepted into a graduate program at the University of Toronto, and post doctoral fellows engaged in research

Clinical Psychology Internship Program
The CAMH Clinical Psychology Internship Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is an APA/CPA-accredited
internship. At CAMH, we are pleased to offer nine internship placements, making our program one of the largest of its kind
in Canada.
The Psychology Internship Program provides clinical training in the context of a scientist-practitioner (Boulder) model. The
CAMH internship is especially well-suited to applicants who are bound for academic careers in university psychology departments,
teaching hospitals, and other academic settings. In contrast with many internship programs, in which rotations occur sequentially,
psychology interns at the CAMH are assigned to two major rotations which occur concurrently throughout the year. In addition,
interns may seek further training opportunities through a minor (half-day) rotation with other psychology supervisors at the
CAMH or they may choose to participate in research during the internship year.
The psychology internship positions are open to students who are formally enrolled in a CPA- and/or APA-accredited doctoral
program in clinical, counseling, or school psychology, who meet the CPA or APA academic and practicum criteria and who have
received formal approval from their Directors of Training to apply for the internship. As per CPA guidelines, eligibility
for internship requires that applicants have completed all requisite professional coursework and practica prior to beginning
the internship year. In addition, applicants must have completed a minimum of 600 hours of practicum experience in assessment
and intervention strategies to be eligible.
The Internship runs from September 3, 2012 to August 30, 2013.
Applications are due on November 15, 2011. Applications are to be submitted via the AAPI Online Centralized Application Service. No printed documents are to be mailed directly to our program. The AAPI Online may be accessed at www.appic.org.
Please note: While CAMH is not listed within the APPIC directory, CAMH does take part in the APPIC matching process. All applicants must have an APPIC number prior to match day. The APPIC code number for the CAMH internship program is 183211.

Postgraduate Year 1 Psychiatry Resident Training in Addiction PsychiatryCurrently, the PGY I Addiction Psychiatry training consists of a four-week rotation. This is part of a 3 month block of psychiatry
training that also includes Emergency Psychiatry and Consult Liaison Psychiatry. The overall the focus is on the developmental
needs of the Resident i.e. developing core competencies of understanding the basics of addiction medicine and psychiatry,
how to manage acute states of intoxication and withdrawal, approaches to treatment (e.g. pharmacology and motivational enhancement
techniques), and experiencing different settings for treatment intensity (e.g. withdrawal management units, day treatment
programs, out-patient clinics etc). Exposure to the above with processing from supervisors will focus on developing professional
attitudes and behaviours for dealing with addiction.
